Physical Pressure

If you and your child/students struggle with anxiety/stress, we created a tool for you to do TOGETHER.

Using body scans, deep breathing and by igniting the imagination, each guided relaxation calms the nervous system and guides children to a safe space where they can let their worries go. Each guided relaxation is created to be short and effective especially for participants with short attention spans.

Have a beautiful day!

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

Yesterday at Ocean Avenue Elementary School in Portland Maine I got to lead the entire school community through activities to help calm the nervous system.

The sound of 450 students and their teachers breathing into their bellies at the same time in the gymnasium was a dream come true! The power of the breath and community can transform lives. Something so simple, yet when practiced consistently has the power to shift many things, internally and externally.

When we practice together, it gives every human an opportunity to pause, connect to their feelings/needs and feel safe.

When people feel safe they are better learners and more compassionate human beings. Every child should have access to tools to help them feel safe in their bodies, minds surroundings.

Hello, We hope you are having a beautiful Tuesday! If stress/anxiety is on the rise for you or your child/student, here is a 1 minute tip that helps calm the nervous system–encouraging a response rather than a reaction. Choose video 5 of 5.

Video Curriculum

For schools interested in implementing social-emotional learning and mindfulness into their day, we created 5 minute videos that have been researched by Regis and Denver University. After participating in our videos 3-5x a week for 8 weeks students showed an improvement in:

Interpersonal Strength: Ability to control emotions and behaviors in a social situation.

Involvement with Family: Participation and relationship with his or her family.

Intrapersonal Strength: Outlook on his or her competence and accomplishment.

We have trainings in Denver, CO and Portland, ME coming up in October and November that specialize in equipping youth with tools for stress management through mindfulness and social-emotional learning.
